Even Garbage Finds are Good Sometimes - Video too

After work today I stopped by the 1830's CW property to get a few hours in. The dirt was very dry and a bit tough to dig now.
I was working an area in the back yard around the garage & row of hedges. I noticed that the garbage can that normally sits in back was gone. I decided to detect the bare patch where it sits and I got a strong signal. I thought for sure it would be junk, but was pleasantly surprised with a large button about 4" deep. Also in that same spot was part of a skeleton key.
The button I believe is a General Staff button that measures approx. 28.5mm with a "Scovills Mfg. Co. - Waterbury"
back mark. I suppose this style is post 1902, but the back mark looks to be older, so I am puzzled.

Also dug were:
*1926 wheat
*CW bullet -Looks like it has 3 rings, but the base is SOLID. Any ideas what kind of bullet this is?
*Vintage piece of jewelry. Possibly Victorian era.
*Colonial chicken bone. Pretty cool looking old bone actually.

Thanks for looking,
MM

You're right. The bar tokens are in abundance back there.

The bullet you found looks like the Unknown bullet I kept finding at a CW target practice site on the outskirts of a camp:

It sure does.
I dug the mystery bullet within about 3 feet of where I dug this monster bullet last year. Both were by a large oak tree.
Can you imagine getting hit with this beast! You could knock someone out just by throwing it at them.
